Fives is responsible for some of the most impressive achievements of the industrial age, from the first steam locomotives to the Alexandre III Bridge in Paris, the metal framework of the Orsay train station in Paris and the elevators for the Eiffel Tower.}

^{Successively known as Compagnie de Fives-Lille, Fives-Lille-Cail, Fives-Cail-Babcock then finally Fives since 2007, the company is named after a suburb in the city of Lille (Hauts-de-France Region, in the North of France).}
